[Beta] "JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier" when naming a new branch

Anvil Q&A
1

In the new IDE add a new branch. When prompted for a name I enter “fix_selection”.

I get the error:

JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier "An"

PS another niggle: in that same name a new branch dialog I get suggestions from the browser(?) with all my emails, which seems a bit silly.

Using Safari.

I had the same issue before. What I could identify is that the underscore character is not supported for some reason. Try naming with Camel case instead of snake case like “fixSelection”. That’s what I do.

That’s what I wound up doing. However a clear error message would be nicer.

Yeah… I think it’s an unexpected error, however I can’t move this to bug reports, so we can just use this workaround for now.
